No, it's not. Malaysia has one of the biggest towers in the world. M is made up of Indians, you can call them Malays. Chinese and Indians from India. The Malays are stupid people. They are Muslims. So the govt contracts out to mixed Chinese and Indians (from India). Not Wahoo Indians that John Wayne kept shooting.
The influx of more intelligent immigrants into M has had a positive effect. But the more intelligent folks didn't come into M to be enslaved. They came for money. And they made it.
Journalists are not interested in that story. Journalists are interests in oppression.

The question is why is the city so shitty now.
Well it's clearly b/c of leftist policies, according to the poli-board. 
I mean: Think about how horrible San Fransisco, San Jose, and Austin are? I mean: those are liberal meccas -and they're all dumps!

Well the thing that stands out to me is the data that shows white people went from 84% population to 10%. And the amount of Hispanics that moved in.

The problems that destroyed detroit were more than just liberal policies. To claim it was only liberal policies would be foolish, even for politards.

To be fair, neither Houston nor Dallas are conservative.
It is fairly close in terms of percentages of Democrats and Republicans, but Houston and Dallas vote Democrat every year.
The rest of Texas is highly conservative, though.

Most large cities are "liberal" compared to suburbs or smaller towns.
